Loved Tombstone. Just re-watched it a couple of months ago. It had been years. Even better this time around.

Cowboys and Aliens is the most historically accurate and realistic. :lol: ;)

in the movie The Sons Of Katie Elder ..... In the final gunfight in Hasting's store, John Elder fires his six-shooting Colt to a total of thirteen or fourteen times, without requiring - or doing any - reloading whatsoever.

Great movie. Decent attempt at period correctness. Watched it on dvd couple weeks ago.

I liked the part in Dances With Wolves where Costner is shooting the buffalo with his Henry (along with the Indians with arrows) - and they are crumbling like cheap suits!
An original .44 Henry round would most likely not even penetrated much past the hide!

Lots of movies show guys shooting Henry's but the mag tube tab is at the empty position. Lonesome Dove got it right.
